Executioners are a profession that people respect and fear, and legend has it that when they sit with others, they will unconsciously stare at people's necks, wondering how to cut off their heads cleanly, just thinking about it is creepy, no wonder they have no friends.

A good executioner needs to be sharpened for a long time before he can accurately cut off his head with a knife, and if he doesn't get home, he will cut it to the bone, instead of cutting through the bone crack, and the head will be cut a second time, which is called inverted blood luck.

Today, in the cross street, more than 30 prisoners lined up in a large row, and there were not enough executioners in the yamen, so they had to call the apprentices over. Putting on the red shoulders, holding the ghost head knife with the masters, preparing for the execution, it is conceivable that someone is going to be unlucky.

After Zhao Wenhua reported the case file, in less than three days, Jiajing personally executed a culprit.

Among them, the greatest culpability was He Maocai, who took bribes, betrayed military intelligence, bent the law for bribes, deceived the king, and committed many crimes, and should have been hanged, or at worst, beheaded. But because he went mad, no matter how severe the punishment was, he didn't understand, so he was sentenced to be beheaded. As for whether it was Tianxin's mercy or some powerful exchange, it is unknown if he was shut up.

He Maocai did not give a heavy sentence, and the others also picked up the cheap, and should be triumphed in collusion with the Japanese and beheaded, and the rest of the families, all those who were connected with the Japanese invaders, the head of the family, the housekeeper, and the account room, were all beheaded. As for the rest of those who were implicated, some were beaten, some were distributed, and some were fined silver, there is no need to elaborate.

Those who need to be beheaded are sent to the execution ground, which is also a rare big case in Zhejiang this year, especially when it comes to the crime of complication, the people gritted their teeth and gathered around for a long time, wanting to see the fate of these beasts with their own eyes.

Murder will be chosen at three o'clock in the afternoon. This is the time of the day when the shadows are the shortest, and it is also the time when the yang energy is the heaviest, and the ghosts will dissipate immediately, not haunting the innocent.

When the time came, the executioner picked up the wine bowl after listening to the order of the warden. drank more than half of it, leaving a sip of wine, sprayed it on the ghost head knife, and then raised the big knife high. The blade was as fast as lightning, and with a click, the head fell to the ground, and blood spurted wildly.

It was clean and neat, and the people in the audience closed their eyes in fright, and some people clapped their hands and applauded. One by one, the heads fell to the ground, and when there were more than a dozen, the situation was so bad that the young apprentices could not cut off their heads with a single knife, and the tortured people screamed in pain on the ground, and some people even stuck their knives in their bones and could not pull them out. Bloody, everywhere. It's not miserable. The teachers scolded, and the junior apprentices could only grit their teeth. I struggled to take out the knife, and then slashed it frantically, and it took me a long time to cut off my head, which was extremely terrifying.

Although these people deserve to die for their crimes, it still makes people's hearts beat when they end up like this.

……

Tang Yi didn't come to see the killing. It's not that I'm afraid of cutting off my head, but Wang Chen's appointment has finally come down, and he wants to send his old father-in-law north.

In view of Wang Chen's outstanding military achievements, the imperial court added the military department to the left and the right deputy envoy, and the governor of Jiliao military affairs. Jizhen and Liaodong. They are all important military towns of the Ming Dynasty, especially when I have been in the army for many years, and Jizhen guards the north gate of Beijing, and its importance is self-evident.

Jiajing's arrangement is obviously out of trust in Wang Chen's military ability, and Jizhen and Liaodong are much easier than a muddy water in the southeast, it is just a military struggle, and it will not be mixed with all kinds of interests, obviously the governor of Jiliao is more suitable for Wang Chen's character.

However, Tang Yi was not at ease, and when he was leaving, he said in pieces: "Uncle, Yan Song and Yan Shifan have small bellies and chicken intestines, and they are crazy, you must always learn to protect yourself, get closer to Xu Ge Lao, if you are in trouble, he can save you." ”

"Elder Xu Ge?"

Wang Chen hesitated for a moment, and said puzzledly: "Xu Ge Lao can even abandon his apprentice master, and he is not as strong as Li Dazai, how can you take a good look at him?" ”

Would I say I've read the history of the Ming Dynasty?

Tang Yi shook his head and said: "Although Li Mo looks like a huge momentum, he is actually imaginary, and he is not Xu Ge Lao's opponent at all, and of course he is not Yan Song's opponent. When it comes to dealing with Ying Dayou, his impatient character is exposed. ”

It turned out that after Zhao Wenhua submitted the case, Li Mo was immediately angry, and he didn't understand why Zhang Jing would allow this kind of performance to come up.

He just let Zhang Jing control the scope of the attack, why did he retreat completely-how did Li Mo know that the Southeast Gentry Group is in the same breath, just like a big fishing net, if a hole is leaked, all the fish will slip away.

So far, Li Mo has no choice but to sprinkle all his anger on Ying Dayou, mobilize his imperial historians, and violently impeach Ying Dayou, saying that he is not strict in governing his family, why is he in charge of a country's criminal name, and some people even accuse him of bribery and greed, mediocrity and incompetence, and disaster to the country and the people......

In the face of the surging impeachment offensive, Yan Song went to the official position of Ying Dayou and immediately returned to his hometown and never used it. Jiajing happily approved, and after the court push, He Ao took over the charge of the Criminal Department.

In the eyes of many people, Li Dazai won another member of the Yan Party, which was a complete victory. But Tang Yi didn't see it that way, He Ao, who took over as the secretary of the Criminal Department, and Yan Song were also closely related, so it could be said that the meat was still rotten in the pot. And with the fall of the Ying family, Ying Dayou's reputation has become infamous, and it is a matter of time before he leaves his job.

If Tang Yi dealt with this matter, he would let Ying Dayou go, and keep a tainted criminal department book, no matter what Ying Dayou did, he would be blamed at every turn, not only would he not be able to help Yan Dang do things, but he would also provoke wind and rain and catch bigger fish.

In turn, use this time to complete the layout of the card position, and when the time is ripe, not only take down Ying Dayou, but also grab the criminal department together.

Even if Yan Song was reluctant, there was no way to stop him.

However, Li Mo did not forbear, but adopted a strong offensive attitude, which would only expose his strength prematurely and attract Jiajing's suspicion.

Don't forget, what did Xia Yan fall for, that is, to make friends with border ministers, the combination between Li Mo and Zhang Jing is more threatening than Xia Yan and Zeng Mo at the beginning, and Jiajing will definitely not sit idly by.

As if to verify Tang Yi's judgment, at the same time as the holy decree of Wang Chen's northward journey, he gave Zhao Wenhua a decree appointing him as the minister of sea sacrifice to inspect the southeast.

This appointment is quite interesting, the anti-Japanese army relies on money and food, Jiajing will not be naïve enough to have the blessing of Mazu, the southeast will be calm, and the world will be peaceful!

Obviously, Jiajing can see that the strict party is unbearable, and the same Li party is not reassuring, so he has to let the two sides supervise each other, or pinch each other, the relationship between the bastard and the turtle son, which is very important in the eyes of the scholars, is so fucked up.

As a latecomer, I didn't get the appreciation of the boss, and it was so difficult to bring down my predecessors, not to mention. Tang Yi became more and more unoptimistic about Li Dazai, thinking that Wang Chen in history got a different place because of the wrong side, Tang Yi couldn't help but shudder.

"Elder Xu Ge may not be humane, or he may seem cowardly and inactive, but the one who can replace Yan Song must be this person! If you want to protect yourself, you can only hug Xu Ge's thighs! ”

Don't look at Tang Yi's young age, but his ability to cross and close has already made Wang Chen breathtaking.

He bets on Xu Ge Lao, it definitely makes sense, the two parties are relatives, and now they have more in-laws, it is kissing and kissing, and mixing sugar in honey, Tang Yi will definitely not harm him.

Wang Chen nodded solemnly, "I wrote it down, don't worry!" ”

……

You sang and I appeared, from Governor Wang to Governor Zhang, and the Japanese in the southeast did not disappear, but intensified. Having lost their fixed nest, the Woko turned to a lone wolf attack.

All of a sudden, Taizhou, Shaoxing, Ningbo, and Wenzhou were full of beacon fires, and it happened that Zhejiang was fighting at this time, and the army was paralyzed and suffered heavy losses. Fortunately, Lu Bo commanded properly, annihilated the two Japanese bandits, and finally supported the overall situation.

The pressure of the Japanese was also an important reason for Zhang Jing to bow his head, and the old man knew that the most important mission of the southeast governor was to resist the Japanese.

Although he let go of many big clans, he didn't let go of the stolen money at all, and all of it was used into military salaries. With the money, the wolf soldiers moved, and with the efforts of Lu Bo, Tang Kekuan, Yu Dayou and others, the wolf was killed.

The Japanese who had suffered defeat from Zhejiang did not give up, but pointed the finger at Nanzhili. A large number of pirates invaded Songjiang and Suzhou, and a group of more than 400 pirates led by Xiao Xian was particularly brutal. After they conquered Nanjiang and Chuansha, they slaughtered the local residents and camped under Songjiang City, and their momentum was very arrogant. Subsequently, this department surrounded Jiading, attacked Taicang, burned, killed and looted, and did bad things.

Zhang Jing had a headache to death, but fortunately, Lu Bo had trained in Nanzhili and was familiar with the situation, so he could only send Lu Bo's troops to Suzhou......

Hearing all kinds of bad military situations every day, Tang Shen became very angry, especially the attack on his hometown by the Japanese invaders, which made him even more angry.

"Kill, kill, kill!" Grabbing a large pen, he wrote down the hideous killing words one by one, and the anger in his heart made every word burn. No bloody boy can endure the shame of his hometown being looted and burned.

Tang Shen couldn't wait to lead his troops into battle immediately, so that the Japanese would know how powerful he was.

However, it is a pity that Xiang Yong's training has just begun, and due to Zhang Jing's lack of interest in Xiang Yong, the support is insufficient. For the time being, only more than 1,000 people were recruited, and there was a serious shortage of weapons, so anxious that Tang Shen's mouth was bubbling.

Tang Yi also knew his father's worries, and he could only try his best to dredge up for his father. No, Tang Yi took advantage of the Xinxue gathering to find Qian Dehong and Wang Ji.

"Uncle Shi, you all said that those who support the compilation and training of Xiangyong will not change their hexagrams, right?"

Qian Dehong glared at Tang Yi and scolded with a smile: "Are we liars?" However, it takes a lot of investment to train Xiangyong, and each family has to discuss, and I can only guarantee that there will be 10,000 horses within the year. ”

"Ten thousand!"

Excluding the personnel left behind, more than 3,000 can be dispatched at a time, which is enough to deal with a medium-sized Japanese invasion. As long as you see the effect, why worry about not more people joining!

Tang Yi raised his eyebrows and had some doubts, "Uncle Shi, is this matter serious?" ”

Wang Ji smiled and said: "We have all passed two jiazi combined, can we still deceive a little doll?" Tang Yi was immediately overjoyed, thinking that it would not be difficult to do this with the appeal of Xinxue, his father's reputation, and the financial resources in his hands.

"Little nephew, thank you two uncles."

"Wait." Wang Ji suddenly smiled and said: "Let's help you, you kid has to repay the favor." ”

"Oh? What do you command? ”

Wang Yi smiled bitterly, "I can't hide it, I have a student, he ...... Alas, it's really hard to say, please help the old man enlighten him, I thank you in advance! ”

Saying that, Wang Ji didn't care about his identity and bowed deeply. (To be continued.) )
